bjornpdx 641 Posted May 24, 2019 https://soundcloud.com/orygun/tranquility Kind of a cross between Vangelis and Heavenly Music Corporation. Thanks for listening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegaltieribrothers 173 Posted May 24, 2019 Hi Bjorn, This is definitely Vangelis in nature + very tranquil into the bargain. Thanks for sharing. Good Job! regards paul 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freddy j 400 Posted May 24, 2019 I am not familiar with either Vangelis nor Heavenly Music but I do know that I like this song. I was so relaxed listening to this I practically slid out of my chair. Well done Bjorn!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emeraldsoul 1,189 Posted May 25, 2019 You turned the shimmer knob up to 11! Really, really nice. Thankfully I listened on headphones. I'm not sure if you could somehow make it better by balancing the piece with more, or stronger, bass elements. Seems like most everything is a wonderful shimmering salad up above 1khz. Would some tasteful croutons of tympany or taiko mess things up? Just a thought . . . Hoping there is a video planned? Good one, Bjorn! -Tom 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Freyja Grimaude-Valens 269 Posted May 26, 2019 This is very nice. My only real critique is that you could add a short pause at the end of that pitchbent saw climax before the rest of the song begins, so as to give it a bit of a dramatic flair. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lynn Wilson 484 Posted May 26, 2019 I had to listen to this several times to let this soak in before I commented. The name is perfect for this piece. This is one of the most relaxing and therapeutic songs that I've heard in a while. Your choice of sounds and arrangement are very good and make me want to come back for more. Kudos! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnbee58 238 Posted May 27, 2019 I heard of Vangelis. Weren't they the "Chariots of Fire" Guys? Creates a very nice and peaceful atmosphere. Film documentary type. Nice. 🙂John B 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bjornpdx 641 Posted May 27, 2019 LadyFT - Thanks for the pause suggestion. Kind of wish I'd thought of that before posting the song. Martins - thank you Lynn - glad you liked it. Sometimes I wish I had fewer choices of sounds to pick from. Gets overwhelming at times. John B - Vangelis is known more for the Blade Runner soundtrack. I have a Vangelis tribute library which sounds too much like his work unless you mess with the filters and such. msmcleod - yep. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wookiee 1,001 Posted May 28, 2019 As I listen to this I though Bjorn has been playing with his Vangelis tribute pack, this is nice Bjorn very chilled, sweetly relaxing (more please). If I was to make one minor change perhaps a nice deep bass now and then just to balance that sparkly shimmering top end. Nice job all round on this Bjorn loved it.
